It is by no means im- probable that the voice of God and the voice of * In the year 1829, four hundred and sixty-seven petitions were pre- sented to the Congress of the United States, from every part of the Union, signed by individuals of different religious denominations, and containing the names of the most active, enterprising, and intelligent of our citizens, praying for a repeal of the law which sanctions the transportation of the mail on the Lord's-day. There never was a more delightful u...nion of sen- timent and feeling than was expressed in these petitions ; nor is it easy to find in any of the more elaborate dissertations upon the s&credness and importance of the Sabbath, stronger reasons, or reasons expressed with greater sincerity and earnestness in favor of the proposed reform. The prayer of the memorialists was not granted ; God's day is not yet rescued from this national desecration. Extracts from these memorials may be seen in " An account of Memorials presented to Congress by numerous friends of their country and its institutions ; praying that the mails may not be transported, nor post-offices kept open on the Sabbath, " printed in New York, 1829, This valuable pamphlet lays before the public a list of places from which memorials were received, extracts from the petitions, selected names of petitioners, and a few concluding remarks.
